[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD
Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...
These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.
To reiterate some of the points:
1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.
2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.
3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.
4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.
5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.
If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.
Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

Israel isn't an ethnostate but it's the only state that treats jews as normal human beings in the area. Which for anyone who is a jew is a relevant topic (and should be even for non jews tbh).
It's not an ethnostate AND most of the world operates on some version of what you discuss, with far less diversity than Israel.
Both can be true (contrary to your assertion). You are discussing "modernity". I'm telling you it ain't so. Most of the planet isn't operating on your cherished principles.
And speaking of having it both ways, what's interesting is a lot of this thread rages against the West. But the West is unquestionably the place welcoming the most diversity. Kind of funny, that.
In italy Israel v Palestine maps 100% on "americanism".
Everyone who accepts the claim "Italy being allied with the USA is a moral positive and provided us with a lot of benefits and it's a core element of our national identity" is pro Israel.
Everyone who accepts the claim "Italy suffered being allied with the USA and americans don't have italians best interests at heart and we should stop thinking they do" is pro Palestine.
Agreed. They disagree with you but won’t bet on it. Laughable.
I say it all the time. Koreans are very racist and only like Koreans. Source: I lived there for a year
Do you know what suggest means?
Anyway, how many dicks were sucked during their tests? I’ve gotten my dick sucked by about 200 girls, I assure you men without foreskin are much much less sensitive than men with it.
For example I can cum from head in 3-5 minutes. Not the same with circumcised men. How do I know? I’ve had over 100 girls tell me and compliment me on it. We also **** better because our dick heads are more sensitive so we aren’t just blindly punching the pussy with a desensitized piece of tissue
It's the only country I know where the hostage posters aren't torn down frequently. And people wonder why it needs to exist.
No they don’t. They only do it for white Jews. Not for Ethiopian Jews. Not for Palestinian Jews
Me? I'll say it now. Another example is Japan's reluctance to allow immigration in the interests of ethnic purity has hampered it's economic progress. See this is easy, throw another one out there and I'll take a swing.
Btw see, hindu nationalism isn't about making an ethnostate, do you realize how many ethnicities make up india, even staying strictly within groups that are hindus?
I think the exact term used for Israel was a religious ethnostate because Israel slides between Jewish ethnicity and Jewish observance for its supremacy, but you can broaden the concept. It's generally a good idea to take your political polity as it is and deal with the people that are there instead of evicting, oppressing, or murdering them. Apply that to ethnicity or religious observance.
Have you even looked at the photos of the murdered people on 10 7? do they all look white to you?
Just....why?
Take stats and you’ll learn why that sample isn’t representative of the population
Anyway get 500 pics of Israelis
500 pics of Palestinians
Mix them together and then bet me I can’t sort them out with X degree of certainty
Should be a slam dunk win for your side. I would even pool money together if I was you guys.

Can you walk me through your model according to which importing more low skilled uneducated people would have increased japanese per capita real gdp, or are you only talking about absolute gdp levels here ?
Would you accept the bet if i pick only Israeli jews with middle eastern origins (approd 40% of Israel population)?
and you claim they only mistreat white jews, so why didn't they only kill white jews? that's the point they didn't. They indiscriminately killed jews, because they hate all the same.
Because I don’t support genital mutilation nor racist or religious/xenophobic tropes
As to why I got my dick sucked so much? The answer should be obvious; I wasn’t a victim of MGM so getting my dick sucked feels way better to me than it does to people that are victims of MGM
I’m guessing you don’t have your foreskin so getting your dick sucked isn’t that great

Are you asking me to make a different bet?

I am telling you that non-white Israeli (or american) jews are discriminated against terribly in many countries in the area, so you are factually wrong about the idea that they only hate white jews. Objectively wrong as usual and everyone knows that.
So you won’t take my bet?
And you offered me a different bet? Which I won’t take
I never said they only hate white jews. So funny to see you make things up. Is it a disorder or do you do it on purpose thinking I won’t notice? Is there another option?
I think the biggest problem as it pertains to I/P is our hyper criticism for the behavior of one side, and complete indifference the other way. Arab behavior towards Israel (Palestinian, Egypt, Lebanese, Yemen, etc.) is a giant part of the problem, and has been for 80 years.
Even today, Lebanese theocratic militias are attacking Israel, causing giant ecological disasters and mass evacuations, that is likely to escalate into a major war, and the silence from the world, especially the Ummah, over this is deafening.
The entire narrative is a giant exercise in bad faith, that is leading nowhere good and never will. And honestly, just serves to emphasize how bigoted and unreasonable the world really is towards Jews/Israel; which if your goal is to convince Jews that Israel doesn't need to be a "Apartheid" safe haven from the world's bigotry, you aren't presenting a very convincing argument IMO.
Maybe you should and you'd see how many Jewish authors have agents and publishers.
New lows. We reaching them. Washoe is like "bro...."
What was wrong? I don’t know why I got my dick sucked so much, I was just throwing out the answer I felt was correct
He asked me “why?” And I answered
Maybe I got head so much cause I was good looking and smart. Thanks tinder!
Do you have your foreskin?
ok I have to ask. How do you know?
YUp. That was a truly horrible post.
I don't think we're disagreeing except for a chicken and egg problem. I think narratives are nearly infinitely adaptable so given enough exposure I'm some someone could map a colonizer vs native narrative onto Pakistan. It does help that Western governments tend to have Western style politics of ostensibly liberal style government which makes it easier to comprehend and map, again, rightly or wrongly, onto the political situation. Liberals tend to struggle to map, say, tribal style governance onto typical western narratives.
While the narratives are reductionist, it's not hard to grasp the meta narrative that's going on. With colonizer vs native you have someone with a lot of power dominating someone who doesn't and liberalism is ostensibly is concerned with power dynamics.
I mean the thread will be shut down pretty soon I assume, but I gotta say this one is a first for me.
